Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

Product was in great condition, great pricing, would work with Alibris in the future if the opportunity arises
All goiod, five stars says it all.
Goddamn you people, i do not have time for this INVASIVE marketing horse$#*!.
Love finding books here both fiction and non fiction - always fun searching through the online aisles
Good service and easy in ordering. Also like the assortment of books.
Shipping fees are too high. There is a USPS discount for book shipping.
I am extremely satisfied with the quality of books, their prices, and the convenience of deliver. However, the shipping rate seems to be set per book and becomes outrageous when ordering several books at a time. With the USPS Media mail rates the high shipping fees could be avoided. Also the shipping rates increase with every book regardless or the book's size or weight. I'd love to see an update to this. Even a pickup option would also be nice.
I was very Happy to find these books at a very reasonable price.
Easy site and I like the savings option you offer for saving with one seller
I have ordered books with Alibris for a good many years now … I always find books the I want to give as gifts and never any problem with billing or delivery
Perfect … everything I was looking for
Easy to pick, easy to buy. It was more difficult to fill out this survey than it was to order a holiday gift for a family member!
This is my second order with your company. Was able to find the books to fill out the series I am reading. I was very pleased with my order. Was expecting to pay a lot more since some of the books were hardcover.
Always quick and easy to find and purchase! Great prices. Beats Amazon!
This site is great, the books have all come in good condition some like new. I continue to order books here.
This is my go-to site for ordering books for the past several years!

Easy to find what you're looking for, reasonable prices, good selection.
It was great! The book is in excellent condition. Can't wait to start using it.
Great deals, easy to navigate, timely shipping and adequate packaging.
Good site. Books listed conveniently by title or author. I like that I saw what bookstore my choice of book was being shipped from.
Website is easy to read and search for the gift I was looking for
Easy to purchase and fair pricing. The delivery was quick and packaged well
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.
Answer: Hi Dennis, That depends on where the seller is located and where your deliver address is as well. Generally, shipments within the States are delivered within a week or so, though holiday shipping might slow down a bit. If you send us the details with your order number in an email to [email protected] we can look into the specifics for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: Hi Valerie, If you have had a problem with your Visa or PayPal transactions on our site, please let us know the details at [email protected] so that we can investigate for you. Thank you for your question. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you. If you have already placed an order, please contact us at [email protected] with your order details and we can investigate for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
